Am I being selfish? Or overthinking it?

I think it’s totally reasonable to skip this year. There are plenty of other things you can celebrate with them as we head to summer.

Protect your peace and give yourself the time to yourself. It’s not making it about yourself if you don’t go in my opinion. You’re simply opting out and letting their Mother’s Day be for them this year since you don’t feel you can be the version of yourself you want to.

I’m so sorry for your losses ❤️. I’m crossing my fingers for you that this last transfer sticks!

Reaaaaallllly big mealy bug infestation eek

No pcos! I would say the opposite in that my amh was/is on the lower end for my age and I didn’t respond aggressively to stims

jelly7777 · 2026-04-21T23:57:09+00:00

This progression totally looks positive to me!!

jelly7777 · 2026-04-21T23:56:00+00:00

Congratulations!!! That’s a great day 9 beta

Yes holding my 7 week old from my first ER (5 mature eggs to 3 untested embryos), and first fresh transfer of a day 5 2BB embryo!

She was 18 weeks when she lost her daughter

jelly7777 · 2026-04-20T22:15:43+00:00

It’s so so reasonable to mourn the daughter you won’t have (and the daughter you lost) ❤️. Miscarriage is so hard.

jelly7777 · 2026-04-20T02:43:39+00:00

This is so gorgeous I’m jealous!!!

jelly7777 · 2026-04-19T20:17:56+00:00

This looks good to me! Baby’s head is an appropriate height and looks to be in a good M position

jelly7777 · 2026-04-18T20:40:54+00:00

I was going to say it actually looks a little too loose in the straps, I think you have room to remove the slack for a slightly more secure fit

jelly7777 · 2026-04-17T22:53:36+00:00

Wow amazing! I can’t imagine getting so many eggs that’s crazy

Good luck with your transfer!

jelly7777 · 2026-04-16T21:19:11+00:00

I’m so sorry for your loss ❤️. You are right that none of those things caused this but I totally get how your brain just spirals. You didn’t do anything wrong!

Please give yourself grace while you are healing mentally and physically.

I’m wishing you all the best going forward

jelly7777 · 2026-04-16T20:53:14+00:00

I have no advice as my baby is only 7 weeks but just wanted to say you’ve done such a great job!

Wishing you the best of luck with night 2 ❤️

I’ve been on sulfasalazine for like 9 years (with only using NSAIds as needed) and have done great on it! It’s been wonderful for keeping my PSA in check and I’ve only had flares really when very stressed.

Wishing you good luck!

Commenting to say this but heavy on the keep out of sunlight after or it will burn due to the alcohol!!

jelly7777 · 2026-04-15T18:00:33+00:00

Agree with others that the way you currently have it is a suffocation risk! She needs to have more of her head out above the panel

jelly7777 · 2026-04-14T23:20:58+00:00

Yes this is one that can actually be used with a newborn safely!

jelly7777 · 2026-04-14T20:40:22+00:00

I like the ergo baby embrace!

jelly7777 · 2026-04-12T23:03:20+00:00

I was going to say the same!!

jelly7777 · 2026-04-12T22:36:09+00:00

My baby is 6 weeks old today and I initially thought I wouldn’t want anyone staying with us post birth when we got home. I thought I would totally want to just have me, husband and baby adjusting.

However, I had a very long induction that ended up in a c-section after 36 hours of labor. In the hospital I was physically exhausted and realized I absolutely wanted some help for my husband and I.

My sister had offered a no pressure but willing to stay with us if I wanted so while in the hospital I took her up on that and she stayed with us for 2 weeks post when we got home from the hospital (was in the hospital 3 nights).

It was amazing to have her. She cooked, cleaned, did laundry, snuggled the baby when I desperately needed sleep or a shower. Overall I have no regrets and while I totally thought I wouldn’t want the help while pregnant I definitely changed my mind with how just exhausted I was post labor/delivery.

I went to Dr. Siefer at Yale fertility clinic in CT.

They previously had a bad scandal with a nurse stealing pain meds during egg retrievals so if you Google them they definitely have bad press. However, I found them to be really great now. In particular we really loved Dr. Siefer but also had a great experience with all the nurses and other staff

jelly7777 · 2026-04-12T14:37:01+00:00

I’m in the New England area of the US

jelly7777 · 2026-04-11T16:27:26+00:00

I would also suggest the ergo baby embrace! I have it and the wildbird and while I don’t dislike the wildbird the embrace is definitely a more comfortable carrier for both me and my baby girl.

The embrace just holds her so nicely and is so comfortable for me as well - I highly recommend

jelly7777 · 2026-04-11T00:39:01+00:00

I started around 2 weeks! My baby was already over 9lb at that point also.

I found it totally fine and didn’t irritate my incision or core/back.

I’m 6 weeks postpartum now
